And now Ch.78 is on air. This was how it started this morning at 6, headed by i-Cable's vice-Chief:
The new opening is also seen in Lunchtime News, signed news report and news bulletins.

Programme junction and ident before morning news, without ads in between:
The lower thirds start with news headlines in red, before swiping to blue COVID info, looping back and forth.

Financial indices are added to the bar later, as seen in the signed news report open:
The vertical bar on the left is for breaking news, while the right resides the sign language translator.

The disclaimer card for opinions:

As shown in the pre-launch promo, a new look for Newsroom Live at 1900. Ironically through Cable TV's News Channel, but you get the idea:

And finally, also on News Channel with old graphics intact, Newsroom Live Nighttime:

I can't be the only one who thinks HK Open TV (and the logo) was much nicer than HOYTV?

The new studio looks much nicer than the old one. A shame the content won't be the same as previously given the muzzling of any investigative reporting as we saw for example with the China Beat team being laid off.

Odd choice imo for iCable to have moved their news channel onto FTA DTT, given how many channels they've lost on their paid packages. It was pretty much the only thing left worth paying for.

Also, I wonder when PCCW/ViuTV/nowTV decide to move their news channel onto FTA DTT. There are many more reasons people would subscribe to now other than the news and business channels.

Edit: here's a video showing how essentially the new channel is a mix of simulcasts from iCable's current pay-package channels
